The four Ramapo boys accused of gang-raping a girl and attacking another over the summer were each sentenced to 18 months in a limited-security juvenile detention facility today, causing an outpouring of emotion.

The four boys - 13-year-olds Guerson Bellevue, Kensley St. Fleur, Jerry Jean-Baptiste and Rey Jey "R Kelly" Alexis, who was 12 at the time of the attacks - began crying as Family Court Judge Sherri Eisenpress read the sentences during a 10-minute hearing and held their hands over their faces. Their mothers began screaming and some collapsed on their husbands' laps.
